The Fisher-Merritts have 200 total acres certified organic since 1990.
They feel very fortunate that 2 of their sons want to farm with them. Farming
a huge variety of vegetables on 15 of the 200 acres of farm that has been
certified organic since 1990, the Fisher-Merritts feel that Community Supported
Agriculture (CSA) is the key to their farming success. Among their many
talents, they have experience with greenhouses, extended crop rotation,
and root cellaring. They feel a strong tie to the earth, and a responsibility
to care for her well. |
